We arrived at 6:45 Pm on 03/25/24. Should have known by no other patrons in the parking lot or restaurant upon our arrival would have been an omen not to go in but we decided to tempt Fate. All the warm foods were cold, and the cold foods hot. Never had room temperature banana pudding before nor could I want to again. $38.11 for one adult and one senior with two sweet teas was exuberant. Had to get my own refill on tea. First and last time here.

The new management has turned this place around. It’s a new favorite. Clean, good food, and excellent service.

I had a bad experience at this establishment. As I come in the door there was puke all over the sidewalk, it happens. The majority of the food was cold. While eating there, using a bowl for their ice cream, a sign was put out saying no bowls for ice cream or an additional charge may occur. Not sure what they have against folks who don’t like ice cream cones. As we were leaving their charge system did not have a way to easily leave a custom tip. After leaving the tip on the card machine they ask for an additional tip on the receipt. The gentleman checking us out informs us of the vomit on the sidewalk, wouldn’t want any of the employees to go dump some water on the sidewalk to clean it off.

I absolutely love trays! It is my favorite place I’ve ever eaten and has been for many years, now it’s so much cleaner! I will pay to eat there because I love the food so much but the last time we went, which was 1/24/24, it costed $37 for two people, that was supposed to be with the cash discount too. That’s $18.50 each, very expensive. I would go more if it was a little cheaper. By the time we left a tip we spent more than $20 each. They put a lot of money into cleaning it up so I’m not really complaining I just can’t afford that as often as I would like to have it. I would give 5 stairs if it wasn’t so expensive.

The food has very good flavor. It could have been a little warmer. But everything tasted very good. The staff was very friendly and kept your drinks filled. Regarding drinks, this is one of the best things about this Chinese buffet. They serve Coca-Cola. So many Chinese places serve Pepsi, which is nowhere near as good as Coca-Cola. So if you are looking for some good tasting Chinese and a wonderful Coca-Cola to wash it down, this is the place to go.

First and last time going since reopening with new owners. Very expensive for such a small buffett with very little to choose from. Never got a refill on our drinks, the food was cold and terrible. King Buffett in Somerset is so much better and the food tastes good.

All the food was old and burnt sweet and sour sauce but was told no chicken to go with it. Refused to put fresh out for the price here you could drive on to somerset to a actual Chinese resturant!! Definitely do not recommend

Horrible service, 2 people 30 bucks and never got a refill of drink. Both soups had absolutely no taste. Bunch of fried food that was not good. One good item was the egg roll but the hot mustard in the packets at the cashier desk were not good.
